Energy efficient machine design - quick wins to reduce compressed air use

This webinar on demand looks at designing machines that consume less compressed air and therefore improve the total cost of ownership for your customer. Many manufacturers and machine builders recognise their responsibility to be more energy efficient and reduce their carbon emissions. Our presenters discuss the latest techniques for designing machines optimised for compressed air usage. With an eye on practical solutions that don‘t compromise performance or necessarily add to costs, they will focus on the following four application areas:

  • Compressed air preparation – a forgotten commodity or an easy ‘low hanging fruit’ opportunity?
  • Selection of actuators – a chance to reduce size, reduce energy consumption and decrease moving mass and reduce cost, why wouldn’t you?
  • Control systems – stick with what you always use, or the chance to optimise on consumption AND performance?
  • Connection technology – so simple it doesn’t matter, or so simple it’s the easiest way to make improvements?

Sustainable automation – pneumatic, electric or combined

Choosing the right drive technology is crucial for sustainable and energy-efficient production systems. Experienced machine builders know that there is no such thing as a single energy-saving drive. The decision as to what is most efficient will be driven by the individual requirements of each application. For future-proof automation solutions, it is essential to know exactly how different drive types can be used and combined.

Sustainability is teamwork – our services for you

We help you to plan your systems sustainably and to increase efficiency and availability with optimised control and predictive maintenance. In addition, our training programme conveys forward-looking knowledge about sustainability for the engineers of tomorrow.

We are your responsible partner

We are convinced that technological progress and sustainability must go hand in hand. As a family-run company, we pursue a sustainability strategy that combines environmental, social and business responsibility and that determines our actions.
